Pump & Motor Failure Prevention 

 

  Never run out of oil. 

  Never  run  a  cold  machine  straight  up  to  speed,  first  ensure  engine 

revolutions are low then engage/disengage the head motor. 

  Never increase or decrease engine speed quickly. 

  Never stop or start rotor at high engine speed. 

  Never transport with P.T.O. in gear. 

  Regularly check condition of suction line hose. 

  Never operate above recommended P.T.O. speed. 

  Check that pump fittings are tight. 

  If  any  strange  noise  occurs  from  the  hydraulics,  stop  immediately  and 

investigate. 

  Remember, pump and motor warranty is limited to replacement due to 

faulty  materials  or  manufacturer.  Cavitations  and  peak  pressures  are 
very easily detected on pump inspection. 

  Warranty will not be considered if fault is due to misuse. 

  Never  cause  severe  sudden  movements  to  arms.    Pressure  will  peak 

and will transmit back to pump, resulting in failure.
